![]() ![]() ![]() I think the ‘timeslip’ format is really clever, as it equally fulfils a liking for both historical and contemporary fiction plus, as we read the historical fiction parts, we can see almost in ‘real time’ the effects that has on the later time period. ![]() ![]() Having read and loved Lorna Cook’s first book, The Forgotten Village, I was pleased to pick up The Forbidden Promise, where her formula of interweaving the present day with an early 20th Century time period moves from Dorset to rural Scotland. But when Kate discovers the house has a dark history, with Constance’s name struck from its records, she knows she can’t leave until the mystery is solved… Kate arrives in the Highlands to turn Invermoray into a luxury B&B, only to find that the estate is more troubled than she’d imagined. Rescuing the pilot and vowing to keep him hidden, Constance finds herself torn between duty to her family and keeping a promise that could cost her everything. War rages across Europe, but Invermoray House is at peace – until the night of Constance’s 21st birthday, when she’s the only person to see a Spitfire crash into the loch. Can one promise change the fate of two women decades apart? ![]()
